The training plan I am using is 18 weeks long, but I've extended it to 23 weeks to accommodate races/unplanned injuries/illness. So this way I will be able cut back mileage the week before and week after each race (half in June, 10 miler in August) and have an extra week or so in case of minor injury/illness. <br /><br />I know this is probably excessive, but after missing 2 weeks in April, I don't want to take any chances. Especially with this being my second attempt at a first marathon! I don't want to screw anything up. To keep myself from feeling overwhelmed with such a long training plan I am breaking it down into sections leading up to each race 7 weeks to half, 8 weeks to 10 miler, 8 weeks to marathon, but the training will all be marathon focused.

Will you transition into your full marathon training soon, or is your half soon enough that you won't need to start full training until it's over?<br /><br />I love the name "charlevoix". It sounds so fancy and elegant.Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728566362857791633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1520250291545545247.post-61341572442420390702015-05-18T17:17:19.325-04:002015-05-18T17:17:19.325-04:00It really helped that the race was on a Saturday, ...It really helped that the race was on a Saturday, so I was able to take Sunday and Monday off from running without it affecting this week's mileage. Also helped that it was a 5k. If it had been a longer race, then this week would have definitely been shorter.
